In this study, long term simulations for current(1979-2010) and future(2019-2050) climate over North-East Asian region were performed using RegCM4 driven by HadGEM2-AO provided by the KMA(Korean Meteorological Administration). The spatial resolution is 12.5㎞ and two RCP scenarios(4.5, 8.5) are applied for the future climate simulation. The RegCM4 simulates well the spatial and temporal variations of air temperature of current climate. However, it weakly simulates the intensity of rain band associated with the seasonal march of the East Asian summer monsoon and thereby significantly under simulates the summer rainfall and fails in reproducing the seasonal and spatial variations of precipitation. The 20-year averaged differences between current(1986-2005) and future(2031-2050) simulations showed that the temperature increases are generally greater in RCP8.5(1.93K) than RCP4.5(1.86K) and all the changes are statistically significant at 1% level. In general, the temperature increases are greater in the northern region(autumn, winter) than in the southern region(spring, summer) irrespective of RCP scenarios. The temperature over South Korea is expected to increase by 1.53K to 1.87K irrespective of RCP scenarios and seasons. The precipitation changes vary significantly according to the season and region irrespective of RCP scenarios and the changes of spring and autumn in the certain regions are statistically significant at 5% level. The precipitation over South Korea is expected to increase by +0.42㎜/day in RCP4.5 during spring but it is expected to significantly decrease during autumn(-0.35㎜/day) and in RCP 8.5 during summer(-0.30㎜/day).
